She was in the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only. Following her appearance in the film, she was outed by the shitty News of the World
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the Sven film tonight. A terrific, warm film about a flawed but brilliant and fundamentally decent man. The News Of the World journalist who featured did himself no favours, but that's difficult when you're clearly a c*nt.

neutral · AI labelView post →#NowWatching NEWS OF THE WORLD (2020) Interesting that at the height of the second wave of Covid, the first item of news to be read in this film is about a meningitis epidemic that is spreading through the panhandle and northern parts of Texas. Obviously, this film was finished before the pandemic.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched "News of the World". Exactly what you'd expect: nice balance of calm, action, ideas, drama in a slow burning, thoughtful film. Good, and thoroughly predictable... but the journey matters more than the ending. And Zengel is excellent. #filmsky www.imdb.com/title/tt6878...
positive · AI labelView post →News of The World is such a quiet, awesome film.
positive · AI labelView post →"Repost with a movie you love that you didn't expect to love at all." I'm susceptible to Tom Hanks Fatigue and delayed watching News of the World, but it was a reminder why Hanks is so beloved. And Helena Zengel is an actor I've been watching ever since.
positive · AI labelView post →If you liked the Tom Hanks movie 'News of the World,' you'll enjoy the outstanding Paulette Jiles novel more. Also terrific: 'The Color of Lightning.' ' ... the “Poet’s Western,” a lyrical subgenre of historical fiction shaped by writers like Cormac McCarthy.'
neutral · AI labelView post →News of the World (2020) is a wonderful little western road movie and Tom Hanks is a bloody international treasure.
positive · AI labelView post →Ours was "Momento." He swore we watched it, I had no premise what the movie was. So we watched it, I have seen it once. Although recently we watched thr trailer for "News of the World" and that started the argument all over.

If you liked it too consider reading THE WAR IN OUR HEARTS, which I wrote, also ft Awkward AF Captain+Semi-Feral Child Who Needs Home but in WWI France instead of 1880s Texas ➡️https://books2read.com/u/mq0J72
positive · AI labelView post →The News of the World outed Carolina Cossey, focusing on her being an extra in a Bond film, in the early 80s. It was the first time I heard of someone transitioning.

neutral · AI labelView post →With the American Civil War itself a memory but it's aftermath still polarising the country, travelling newsman "Kidd" (Tom Hanks) makes a living by reading, and embellishing, a collection of newspaper stories from home and abroad to an eager public keen to learn what's going on in the world. It's a solitary existence but he does appear to have a general direction in which he is headed, so we can assume that there is a wartime backstory there somewhere. Along the way, he encounters a young girl…

neutral · AI labelView post →Paul Greengrass's News of the World is a handsomely mounted Western that looks and sounds like it has something to say, but ultimately settles for surfaces. Tom Hanks stars as Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a Civil War veteran who travels through post-Reconstruction Texas reading newspapers aloud to scattered townspeople. When he encounters Johanna (Helena Zengel), a 10-year-old girl taken and raised by the Kiowa, he agrees to return her to her remaining family. The journey that follows is…

neutral · AI labelView post →However, the tabloid press invested a lot of effort into building the archetype so as soon as it was on screen it was both familiar and pre-loaded horror. If you had read the News of The World you were already coming into a biker film with your dial turned up.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have not read the book (yet!) but I think the film adaptation of “News of the World” is one of the more underrated movies for the last 10 years, a cracking picture.
positive · AI labelView post →It wasn't valuable to believe in conspiracies back then since in order for them to spread they had to travel by horse, dodge arrows and survive by eating snakes and river water. Or like in Tom Hank's movie News of the World, it traveled slow and had to face sceptics.

positive · AI labelView post →This doesn’t happen very often, but I actually read their book this movie was based on. I enjoy both. There were a couple of changes I noticed, but I wasn’t offended by them. With one it seemed they had Captain Kidd escape a jam with a speech rather than an explosion, and it worked for me. This is a quirky western and, as such, often ridiculed by western movie fans. It isn’t a classic in my book, but if it came on while I was eating (we multi-task by combining meals with movies), I wouldn’t…
positive · AI labelView post →One of the MOST boring attempts at making a Western by a Top shelf actor to date.. Hollywood really needs to come to grips with fact they NO longer have what it takes to make these kind of films...and havnt for a few years now... Now continue on with the worlds dieing films, or Zombies, or female assassins, or better yet the ANTIFA genre of destroying neighborhoods and hating this country... The whole anti white male genre is a real boomer... but they need to stay away from Westerns...…
negative · AI labelView post →Tom Hanks and Director Paul Greengrass have combined to create a truly moving and memorable western which is one of the best films of 2020. Hanks stars as Captain Kidd; a former Confederate Captain making his way in occupied Texas in the post-Civil-War era. Kidd travels from town to town reading various newspaper stories of interest to gathered locals who are too busy or unable to read the news and look forward to his lively interpretations of news of interest on a local and national level.
